	Giant Robot (Buckethead Album) ''Giant Robot'' is the second studio album by avant-garde guitarist Buckethead (not to be confused with the 1996 ''Giant Robot'', also featuring Buckethead) and loosely following the same "amusement park" concept as his previous album ''(Bucketheadland)''. It has some re-recorded songs from Buckethead's band Deli Creeps, as well his earlier demo tape ''Bucketheadland Blueprints''. ''Giant Robot'' has a more professional sound than its predecessor in terms of recording and production value; the re-recorded tracks have lost their initial "basement" or "video game" sounding beats and guitar licks. As with ''Bucketheadland'', the album was originally only released in Japan.

The album also features many high-profile instrumentalists such as Sly Dunbar, Bootsy Co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
